No, Grid view is currently not supported. It would require a new menu type to work one out, and so far I haven't seen anyone come up with a fitting definition yet. There's so many different definitions possible, like

A1 A2 A3 A4
B1 B2 B3 B4
C1 C2 C3 C4
D1 D2 D3 D4
or
A1  A2  A3  A4
A5  A6  A7  A8
A9  A10 A11 A12
A13 A14 A15 A16
or
A1 A5 A9  A13
A2 A6 A10 A14
A3 A7 A11 A15
A4 A8 A12 A16

I'm pretty sure this is what everyone is referring to in regarding a grid view, like Steam Big Picture. Each menu item listed left to right, up to down and being able to navigate through it using L, D, U or R.

Hi thank you for replying yes steam banner or lunchbox
Rows and columns type menu item where you can move up down left right

I agree with Agent47.  Left to right, top to bottom is the most common arrangement.

Yeah I agree to steam type grid would be helpful open up a lot more options for rfe, Or even define what a menu shows
So finding games to be quicker instead of trawling list's.
